Hey there! Probably some of you may know my user name from Maayas.net - I happen to lurk here as I know people lurk over there  I *finally* signed up on YKDB after...well, a long period of lurking. Years, perhaps? Nice to meet you all properly anyway!! I got directed over here by eiki on the livejournal Maaya Sakamoto community because she thought you guys might be interested in the Maaya Sakamoto cover album that Jerome and I from Maayas.net recorded last week. Maaya Sakamoto Cover Album "The Other Side of Lucy - First Live@Purple Pro Audio"So me and Jerome met up in England (a hefty feat from he who lives in South France) and spent 10 hours in a studio on Friday 13th 2008 recording this album. It's basically an acoustic guitar live ^_^ considering we rehearsed only six hours pre-recording and I have never sung that much in my life...well, I enjoyed the process and I think it turned out well. The band is called The Other Side of Lucy! Anyway, have a listen if you want and feel free to spread about - although I've spread it everywhere I can think of!! It was a fun project, if only for being in a studio singing Maaya songs!!! I have a new found respect for singers though it's amazing how they can sound great through a concert! I think I want to get proper training now...oh yeah! If you can spot the two words that I made mistakes on in two tracks then you get an internet cookie. They make grammatical sense (yay for being a japanese major) but I was too embarrased to tell the others because I didn't wanna cause trouble...and it made grammatical sense sorry Maaya!!!! eiki got a cookie for one of them  Anyhoo! Enjoy! VOX: Pippa (England) Guitar: Jerome (France) Mix and Master: Simon Where: Purple Pro Audio Studio (Leeds, England) Tracklist: 01:Makiba! Alice 02:Kodoku 03:Daniel 04:Pocketto wo kara ni shite 05: Chibikko Folk 06:Yukka 07:NO FEAR/aisuru koto 08:pilot 09:here 10:yoru 11:alkaloid 12:yubiwa 13:Gift Secret Track:Gift ~why not? why not? version~ Link: http://www.zshare.net/download/136171632076de2e/ |

Hey! This is so great! I really love the whole idea . I always wanted to make some covers of maaya and yoko songs... but I can't play any instrument...<_< only singing.... Where did you guys take the music sheets from?? Your voice is really beautiful and you did a great job! Take singing classes from tomorrow, I order it!  You could be a really great singer with little technic! |

Woaaah comments  thanks for the welcome. It seems like a nice community here! Thank you for the positive feedback - it's really encouraging. As for answers to questionsand such, let's see: Music scores: Well, I know there are guitar chords for some (mainly anime) Maaya tracks out there on the net. But as far as I know Jerome does all the arrangements himself on his guitar by listening and playing along. That's why some of the songs were a bit different because he was arranging it a bit differently I can't play an instrument either (wish I did) but I would have loved to add piano or percussion to the covers...maybe next time anyone is floating around England...? or...you know, I could learn ^^;;; must. learn. instrument. Singing lessons...I really want them as for Platina - that would probably be ok but Hemisphere would make Jerome's fingers bleed, haha. But it's always worth a try!!  Woo! Thanks for the comments!! I feel at home already! |

Add those to the plays from the Gabby blog Chibikko Folk currently at 70+, but of course it's not an anime song and that perhaps makes it less known.

The song is called Kuuki to Hoshi^^ And you could compare it with Aoi Hitomi/Memory of Fanelia |
